I should know this...but I don't.

What's a good bar in Davis Square (or Porter, for that matter) to go to have a glass of wine and talk? Since "talk" is a part of the equation, it can't be too loud a place...

Gargoyles was suggested, but is there someplace less...you know...? I had thought perhaps of Christopher's?
It's a first/blind date thing. Help a girl out, here, please!

It used to be called Metro, but now it's called Giuseppe's, right next to the Porter Sq. T station in the Porter Exchange building. Decent selection of wine, should be fine for conversation. You can definitely hear each other talk, and it's not too put on, like Gargoyles might be on a first date. Just stay away from the food -- they're still working out the kinks while they switch menus.

I second this recommendation. They have a leather seating area that is nice and intimate and comfy. Back when it was the Metro I use to go for wine and oysters and steak tatare. Like the post above, I'm not sure about the new italian menu, but the wine and the couches are still there.

Yeah! I didn't think of this place...I'm thinking either here or Temple. I'll give him the option...

Hehe...it'll be our little secret if it works!
